Tom Holland, known for his role in Spider-Man, recently shared an unexpected detail about how he navigates relationship anxiety while away from his girlfriend, Euphoria star Zendaya. Despite their efforts to maintain privacy, Holland revealed that he sometimes Googles her name to make sure she’s safe and doing well. His openness provides a glimpse into how the pressures of public life impact even the most private parts of his relationship.
Tom Holland’s Unique Way of Easing Relationship Anxiety
Holland’s candid confession came during an interview on Samah Dada’s podcast On The Menu, where he mentioned that he searches for Zendaya’s name on Google as a way of coping with his worries. Since he stays away from social media, he feels more distant from real-time updates on his partner, which sometimes causes him to feel uneasy. “Sometimes, it’s more of a bit of an anxiety thing, but I’ll check to see if everything’s good and make sure we’re all cool,” Holland explained. “So I just give her a little Google and look through the news, and I’m like, ‘She’s good. We’re fine.’”
This unusual routine is part of Holland’s approach to managing life as a public figure while also protecting his mental well-being. His feelings resonate with fans, as they bring attention to the challenges of long-distance relationships for those constantly in the spotlight. Holland’s efforts reflect the difficulties couples face when they have limited access to private communication due to their fame and busy schedules.
Tom Holland and Zendaya’s Private Yet Highly Followed Relationship
Known affectionately as “Tomdaya” by fans, Tom Holland and Zendaya have become one of Hollywood’s most beloved young couples. They officially started dating in 2021, after meeting on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017. Since then, the couple has managed to maintain a balance between their personal lives and public personas, aiming to keep their relationship private and away from the constant scrutiny that comes with fame.
In a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Holland emphasized their mutual desire to keep their relationship “sacred” and not let the public influence it. Zendaya echoed these sentiments in her own interview with Elle, highlighting their commitment to maintaining a boundary around their love life. She expressed that while some parts of their lives are inevitably public, they have control over what stays private.
Fans recently witnessed this commitment to privacy in action when Holland was seen protectively guiding Zendaya through a crowded event. The clip, which quickly went viral, showed him shielding her from fans and paparazzi while attending the launch of his non-alcoholic beer brand. This moment reinforced their bond and his dedication to keeping her safe in the public eye, a quality fans have celebrated widely.

He noted that both were “bouncing around the living room,” suggesting the excitement they share about their on-screen reunion.
Zendaya’s admiration for Holland’s “rizz,” or charm, also surfaced earlier in February 2024 in an interview with Buzzfeed. She expressed her appreciation for his charisma, particularly noting the natural charm he brings to their relationship. “I think someone who has beautiful charisma, not on the Dune cast, but I know personally, works for me, is Mr. Tom Holland,” she said, capturing the affection and playfulness that characterize their connection.
